How do you completely turn off Default ATC?

Not sure how to do this.

Thanks.

Except placing ATC audio level at 0 in sound menu I don't think it possible.

One option is to fly VFR...then ignore ATC!

FAA might be knocking on your door, though...

tune radio to wrong frequency is what I do when it annoys me.

I use PF3 for ATC, and never hear or see any default ATC. I just turn off ATC audio, and on the toolbar, uncheck ATC.   Got to Assistance options, User experience, turn off anything that says atc.

I bought pilot2ATC so I need it like you Bob, So thank you for that info.

Not sure what you ment by "on the toolbar, uncheck ATC" Bob? Do you mean the toolbar at top of screen?

The menu 'tool bar" has an ATC icon. You can disable it there.

Keep in ind that you will not hear the push back voices. You can keep it enabled from the toolbar, then disable it right after you are done.

Let me know how you like Pilot2ATC. Are you going to be using it with a headset to practice your ATC procedures or with the co-pilot feature?

You can PM me if you prefer.

I thought it was voice only and I was wrong, so I looked at it again. Watched a great vid on adding more free voicers.

I have not read a word of the manual. Do not feel the need after watching a few youtube vid's.

I did 2 flight last night with it in the Fenix and loved it. The only thing I need to do was go into my sound mixer and turn the sound up and then use the mixer to drop the sound of MSFS. I only use headphones. Now I have the sound of ATC loud and clear and MSFS at "normal" sound level. 

When I was holding short, it told be to wait and at first had now idea why and then I saw a plane landing, ATC talked to it and when exited the runway told me i was cleared to takeoff. Its wonderfull. The voicers could be better ofc but am not paying 25 pound per voice when I got 6 from windows for free, the voicers are find, I choose the best sounding one, set that as my co pilot and set the co pilot to do all readback and change the radios. Then Set all other voice to random. Perfect for me as i dont want to use voice control.

You have to select clearance/pushback engine start/taxi options from a menu and press a button to "say it". Once you takeoff its all automated by the co pilot. (option to not ofc)

I wish I had bough it years ago.

NOTE: It does not inport SID STARS or FL, you click the SID-STAR UI Icons to add them and also you have to select the approch it can say the right RW but you still need to select ILS/RNAV etc. Also enter the FL.

All easy to do.

I'm glad you like it and thanks for sharing.

I also learned everything I know from watching YT videos. There's even one to enable your ATC Chatter through the config.

BTW, the latest beta includes full simbrief support.
